Frequently asked questions

Yes — moissanite has significantly more fire and brilliance than cubic zirconia. It reflects light like no other lab-grown gem. That’s why Bellari only uses moissanite in our collection — for a sparkle that actually lasts.

Unless they’re a trained gemologist, probably not. Most moissanite rings from Bellari are mistaken for high-end diamond pieces — and even then, those who know will admire your conscious choice.

Forever. Moissanite is nearly as hard as diamond and resistant to scratching, clouding, and dullness. It’s suitable for daily wear — whether in engagement rings, tennis bracelets, or earrings — and will retain its sparkle for generations.

Absolutely. Moissanite is often mistaken for diamonds — but it sparkles even more due to its higher refractive index. Bellari’s moissanite is hand-selected for its fire and clarity, offering a timeless diamond-like appearance with a modern edge. Read more in Moissanite vs Diamond: What’s the Real Difference?

No — quality moissanite does not cloud, dull, or change appearance over time. If it appears dull, it’s usually just surface buildup that’s easily cleaned. Bellari’s stones are cut to last, and we provide care tips with every order. Read more here.

Bellari’s moissanite passes most thermal diamond testers, thanks to its high conductivity. However, advanced testers may distinguish moissanite from diamond — a fact that reflects its unique identity as a fine gemstone in its own right.

To the untrained eye — it's very hard. Even jewellers would need specialised tools to tell them apart. Moissanite has slightly more fire (rainbow sparkle), which many of our clients find more captivating than a diamond’s white light alone — read our guide Moissanite vs Diamond: What’s the Real Difference?

Moissanite is an exceptional choice for engagement rings, wedding jewelry, and everyday heirlooms — thanks to its durability, brilliance, and ethical appeal. While Bellari currently specialises in eternity bands rather than traditional solitaire engagement rings, many of our clients choose these timeless designs to mark proposals, anniversaries, and commitment milestones.

Our moissanite eternity rings are crafted to last and shine with meaning — whether you’re stacking them as a bridal set, gifting a milestone, or simply celebrating yourself.

No — moissanite is a gemstone in its own right, not a fake diamond. While it closely resembles a diamond in appearance, moissanite is made of silicon carbide and has unique optical properties. At Bellari, we celebrate moissanite for what it is: a modern, ethical, and brilliantly sparkling stone — not a substitute. Read more on Moissanite vs Diamond: What’s the Real Difference?

It depends on what you value. Moissanite rivals diamond in durability and outshines it in brilliance, all while being lab-grown and conflict-free. While diamonds are traditional, moissanite offers intentional beauty and ethical elegance — which is why many Bellari clients choose it over mined stones — read our guide Moissanite vs Diamond: What’s the Real Difference?

Moissanite has a slightly different type of sparkle — more “fire” or rainbow light — which some may find more vibrant, others less traditional. Also, while it resembles diamond, it’s not the same material, so resale value differs. That said, Bellari customers often choose moissanite for meaning and style — not market value.

Moissanite is significantly better than cubic zirconia in brilliance, durability, and overall quality. CZ is softer and dulls over time, while moissanite retains its fire and sparkle for life. Bellari only uses premium D-colour, VVS moissanite — no CZ, no compromises. Read more on Moissanite Explained: What It Is, Why It Matters

No — it’s not a fake, it’s a different stone entirely. While it looks like diamond, moissanite is valued for its own beauty, hardness, and ethical production. Many modern shoppers view it as a preferred alternative, not an imitation.

For many people, yes — and in some ways, even better. Moissanite offers incredible sparkle, lasting durability, and a sustainable origin — all without the ethical and financial weight of mined diamonds. Bellari pieces are chosen by those who want beauty without compromise.

Moissanite often passes basic thermal diamond testers because of its similar heat conductivity. However, advanced testers can distinguish between the two. At Bellari, we’re transparent about what makes moissanite unique — not because it imitates, but because it stands out.

To the naked eye, yes — even many jewelers can’t tell without tools. But at Bellari, we believe in celebrating moissanite for its own brilliance, not hiding it. Our customers wear their moissanite with pride, not pretense.

Absolutely. Moissanite offers incredible value — ethically sourced, highly durable, and visually stunning — at a fraction of the price of diamonds. It’s not just worth buying — for many, it’s the smarter, more conscious choice.

There’s no one-size-fits-all. Diamonds hold tradition and resale value. Moissanite shines brighter, costs less, and comes with peace of mind. At Bellari, our clients choose moissanite when they want elegance, ethics, and beauty — minus the markup.

Not when done right. Bellari’s designs are intentionally crafted to highlight the beauty of moissanite without screaming “imitation.” Our rings are elegant, well-set, and wear like high-end fine jewelry — because they are. Read our guide on Is Moissanite Real? Everything You Need to Know
